2018 Hasbro Marvel Legends San Diego Comic Con Red Skull Exclusive

Looking at the various exclusives of the 2018 San Diego Comic Con, one stands out as a bright shining star....

....or at least something shining, glowing like a Cosmic Cube, which was featured on the cover of Captain America #115 (July, 1969) by Marie Severin and Frank Giacoia.

To be fair, the MCU 10th Anniversary figure and Tesseract are from the Captain America: The First Avenger movie, but that doesn't make them much less exciting.  Along with the 6 inch movie accurate version of the Hydra scientist, is the Tesseract pack, as seen at San Diego Comic Con 2018. At 3.63 square-inches, the included Tesseract lights up and features alternating light patterns, as well as a seamless battery install for an authentic look and feel.

The figure, which has its own small Tesseract, is included in the Captain America: The First Avenger inspired package, as well as instructions, making this #0 of the Marvel Studios The First Ten Years collection something to be sought after, not unlike how the comic version of the Red Skull chased after the Cosmic Cube! 

2016 San Diego Comic Con Hasbro Collectors Exclusive

This 2016 San Diego Comic Con exclusive should appeal to the Marvel Legends 3 and 3/4th collector, as it contains an action figure of....the Collector!

The Collector's Vault is a set of figures, including the Collector, Devil Dinosaur's pal Moonboy, Inhuman dog Lockjaw, Howard the Duck, and Cosmo...as well as the Wand of Watoomb, the Casket of Ancient Winters and the Zodiac Key (longtime Marvel Team-Up, Dr. Strange fans, Thor fans and S.H.I.E.L.D. and Avengers comic fans should know what these are....if not, trust me, this is cool!).

This set is scheduled to run for $69.99 at the Hasbro booth, and may also appear at the Fan Expo Canada this year (making it not quite exclusive, but a great collector's piece, nonetheless).

Marvel Legends 2016 Wave 3 3 and 3 Quarters

Technically, it is more Marvel Legends 2016 Wave 2 and a half, as half this group we've seen before!

This wave includes Spider-Man foes of the living vampire, Morbius and water elemental, Hydro-Man, as well as a more modern look for the mutant X-Men, Rogue, as well as a later look of Avenger, Quasar...all in glorious 3 and 3/4 plastic, as only Hasbro and Marvel can do!

The fellows we've seen before include Black Panther, original armor Iron Man (both from Wave 1), and Spider-Man in two different costume variants (one from Wave 1 and one from Wave 2 of 2016).  At least you'll be able to find a Spider-Man and a Black Panther figure in the aisles when the Black Panther and Spider-Man movies come out!

Marvel Legends 2016 2 Packs 3 and 3 Quarters 2

Adding to the action figure collection of Marvel fans comes the latest collection, with two packs centered around one character with similar names.

These 2 packs of Marvel Legends 3 and 3/4ths line include Hyperion from the Squadron Supreme (as opposed to the Squadron Sinister, in more recent, darker tones, and from an alternate Earth from a little while back) as the Supreme Power 2-pack; Captain Marvel Carol Danvers (masked) and Captain Marvel of the Kree (or Mar-Vell) in the Cosmic Marvels 2-pack, and Scarlet Spider and Spider-Man in the Web Slingers 2-Pack...and each two pack includes a comic as well!  What a Marvel from these figures from Hasbro!

Marvel Legends 2016 2 Packs 3 and 3 Quarters

A few new figures have hit the shelves for Hasbro's new Marvel Legends 3 and 3/4ths line....but this time they've doubled up, as they are two-packs!

This time, it's related heroes, with Shield Wielding Heroes (Vance Astro from the Guardians of the Galaxy and Sam Wilson's version of Captain America), Mechanical Masters (Machine Man and the "Superior" Iron Man), and Defenders of Asgard (Jane Foster's version of Thor and a rougher Thor Odinson).  Variations on classic Avengers...

Marvel Legends 2016 Wave 2 3 and 3 Quarters

Coming at you soon, the latest in Marvel action figures, wave two of the new Marvel Legends 3 and 3/4th line!

True, we've seen Ant-Man before, but his movie was so successful, Vision also gets a figure update in a more recent look, Daredevil goes back to his original costume that only a blind man could love, Spider-Man comes out in an armored version of his costume pre-Iron Spider, and new figures for Rage (of the Avengers), Living Laser (of the Lethal Legion) and Gamora (of the Guardians of the Galaxy).

Not the greatest of released, but something to help you pass the time while pumping your fist in the air waiting for more releases!

Marvel Legends 2016 Wave 1 3 and 3 Quarters

Yes, the folks at Hasbro have changed the name of their 3 and 3/4 sized Marvel figures (making the name the same as their 6 inchers...no, this won't cause  any problems at retail), but you still get the same action figure goodness!

This time around, starting off the new year with a House of M Spider-Man, a Spider-Man Noir version, Captain Marvel (the former Ms. Marvel, Carol Danvers, version), Thor troll villain Ulik, Black Panther, Mark I Iron Man, aquatic Inhuman Triton, and bow-slinging member of the Guardians of the Galaxy....Yondu!

All but House of M Spidey and Black Panther are new, so plenty of new adventures your little guys can get into!

Marvel Avengers Infinite Series 2015 Wave 3

Even more 3 and 3/4 plastic Marvel figures for your enjoyment.

Villains Emma Frost (a.k.a. the White Queen) from the X-Men and New Mutants title, Spider-Man foe Chameleon, Thor villain Korg, a Juggernaut possessed Colossus, and heroes from Alpha Flight (Northstar) and X-Force (Deadpool, in a variant costume), most of these planned for release earlier, but finally coming out now (like Northstar, who was suppose to be a variant with this sister, Aurora), finding their way out in the Avengers Infinite line.

Still waiting for that Hellcat!

2015 Hasbro Marvel San Diego Comic Con Exclusives

A pair of items that Hasbro is releasing at the 2015 San Diego Comic Con sure to get Marvel fans and Hasbro toy collectors excited...


...just in time for the Ant-Man movie and a certain magical hero and his friends as well!

Marvel Legends

We'll start small, with the Ant-Man exclusive 0.75″ figure “that’s smaller than a penny”, and it’s the smallest figure ever created by Hasbro.


The figure will retail for $9.99, and is modeled after Paul Rudd’s character in the upcoming Marvel release, and comes in matchbox packaging.

But, if you have a hankering for more Ant-Man product...

Hasbro is also bringing along a deluxe Ant-Man pack that includes 12-inch Giant Man, 6-inch Goliath, 3.75-inch hank Pym (who comes in a lab coat with swappable heads), 1.5-inch Scott Lang/Ant-Man, and 1-inch Hank Pym/Ant-Man (as you can better see here....).

The set is packaged inside a cardboard helmet with a swiveling antennae...


...and will be available for $64.99.


Last, but not least, getting ready for his movie to come out in 2016, a set of figures on Doctor Strange and other magic users of the Marvel Universe for Hasbro's Marvel Legends line.

The collection’s edition includes 6-inch figures of Strange in his blue astral form, his ally Brother Voodoo, Strange’s arch nemesis Dormammu, the Asgardian goddess of death Hela, and mutant sorceress Magik.

The entire set comes packaged in a box resembling Stephen Strange’s magical Book of Vishanti, and includes a wearable role-play Eye of Agamato and is priced at $104.99 according to the official Hasbro description.

Marvel Avengers Infinite Series 2015 Wave 2

More Marvel 3 and 3/4 goodness with the second wave of Marvel Infinite action figures (or wave 7 if you've been following since the beginning!).

Starting with a reissue of Miles Morales....the Ultimate Spider-Man; two members of the Sinister Six...Doctor Octopus and the Vulture; an armored up version of Daredevil; Thor-lite with a version of Eric Masterson as Thunderstrike and Ka-Zar's Savage Land wife...Shanna the She-Devil.

Hoping that means we'll see Ka-Zar and Zabu soon, and with the original Sinister Six finished (Electro was in the very start of Marvel's 3 and 3/4 figures, Kraven and Mysterio more recently, and Sandman in the last wave), maybe we can get more members of the Masters of Evil or Sinister Syndicate...

Marvel Avengers Infinite Series 2015 Wave 1

Starting off 2015...more 3.75 goodness from Hasbro and Marvel!

Ready for order....a few Spider-Man villains like Black Cat and Sandman (with a "sandy" Sandman variant as well), a few X-Men (Bishop and the blue, furry Beast, with a grey variant), Big-Time Spider-Man (reflecting a recent storyline), and reissues of Avenger Hawkeye and soon to be on Netflix Daredevil!

Tons of action figure fun for all fans of Marvel Super-Heroes, and planned for the future..Hellcat, Northstar and more!

Marvel Avengers Infinite Series 4

Well, Marvel Infinite Series 4 has been around before.

Platinum Hulk was part of Marvel Avengers Series 1, Death's Head was part of Marvel Avengers Series 2, and Rocket Raccoon (with Groot), Starlord and Drax were all in the Guardians of the Galaxy 3-pack at Toys R Us!


Still, ionic Wonder Man is new (more or less, as a normal version of him came out with Quicksilver in a 2-pack a while back....).  At least Hasbro is making figures!

2014 Hasbro Marvel San Diego Comic Con Exclusives

A pair of items that Hasbro is releasing at the 2014 San Diego Comic Con sure to get Marvel fans and Hasbro toy collectors excited...


...just in time for the Guardians of the Galaxy movie and a certain grey bad guy as well!

Marvel Legends

First off...and priced at $99.99 (a bargain as you'll get 5 figures in the set, and some extras...), a set of Marvel Legends Infinite Series 6-inch figures is based on the Marvel story line "The Thanos Imperative" — included are the Inhumans' Black Bolt and Medusa, Gladiator, Blastaar and Star-Lord from the Guardians of the Galaxy. They all arrive in a special-edition box designed to look like the Galactus Engine from the comics.

Next up is another pack of 3¾-inch figures (at the price point of $74.99) comes from the classic miniseries The Infinity Gauntlet and features Nebula, Starfox, Mistress Death and the cosmic villain Thanos, who comes with his own Infinity Gauntlet. But he's not the only guy who gets one — Marvel's looking out for fans, too, by including a wearable foam Infinity Gauntlet glove in case you want to rule outer space yourself.

Each of the sets will be available at the Hasbro booth at Comic-Con, with a limited number sold after the convention at HasbroToyShop.com. but it might be easier to get a real Infinity Gauntlet!

Marvel Avengers Infinite Wave 3

Marvel Avengers Infinite Wave 3 is a strange wave...as it has many connected pieces!

 

First, it has new figures Ares (an Olympian and Avenger villain), and Deathlok (from Astonishing Tales....and a more modern version has shown up in ABC's Agents of SHIELD).

Then, it adds Omega Red (a Wolverine foe, and short packed from the end of the Marvel Universe).

It also found the new Ant-Man (which had been scheduled to come out in a two-pack with Moon Knight), as well as Cyclops (who was to be in a three pack with Juggernaut Colossus and the White Queen) and Valkyrie (who was to be in a three pack with the Master of Evil Executioner and a more modern Thor).

Seems 3.75 prototypes will find a way out!

Marvel Avengers Infinite Wave 2

Here's the lastest on the Marvel Avengers Infinite Wave 2!

The new figures will include...

...'80s Death's Head!  Walt Simonson's bearded Thor!  Master of Evil Whirlwind! The Red She-Hulk!

Bringing back a few favorites from the Marvel Universe 3.75" line as well....

Super-Soldier Steve Rogers (aka, Captain America!).  Thor-powered Beta Ray Bill!
And, one of Hank Pym's many identities....Yellowjacket!

Avengers Assemble!

Marvel Avengers Infinite Wave 1

Here's the latest 3.75" figure release from Hasbro, the new series, Marvel Avengers!

Included for the Wave 1 release, new figures Grim Reaper, Hyperion, Wasp and an armored Hulk.

Also re-released is Captain America and Heroic Age Iron Man.

All you need in to help keep your Marvel Universe safe (at least with the Avengers....not so much with foes like Grim Reaper and Hyperion!).
